Dorkshelf’s resident Hannibal Lecter expert Peter Counter joins Eric to discuss the Hannibal finale and to take a look back now that the show is finished. They discuss the themes, the characters, and whether or not Hannibal should come back while generally geeking out over what was one of the best shows on television.
